The Most Powerful Direct Response Principles, Strategies,
And Up-To-The-Minute Tactics YOU Can Use Immediately
To Sell More, Profit More, and
Build a Titan-Level Direct Response Business…
(These Lessons Apply in Any Media, in Any Market…)

From the desk of Brian Kurtz

Dear Business Builder,

In my 34 years in direct response — as an avid learner and seminar-goer — I’ve never before seen a lineup like you see above. And I don’t really expect to see another like it again.

But it’s not so much the WHO that matters. Rather, it’s WHAT was covered that could completely transform your career, your business, your life…

For any serious, sophisticated direct marketer or business owner, you know as much as I do: we live and die by results.

If You Want To Succeed In Direct Marketing,
You Have To Do More of What Works,
And Less Of What Doesn’t…

It’s simple enough, but it’s profound… Sure, we can test. And any direct response marketer worth their salt is an avid tester. No matter what business we’re in, or what media we use.

But entire tests can be won by knowing in advance, “Do this, not that.”

If you’re a business owner, knowing what works leads to substantially less marketing waste, and bigger winners with your hits… With that, a business that runs better, gives you more income, and leaves you with more free time to enjoy your good fortune in whatever way you please…

If you’re a marketer, this means more wins on your scorecard… Leading you to faster promotions, bigger opportunities, and the ability to write your own ticket…

And if you’re a copywriter, bigger winners are your keys to the kingdom… Leading to fat royalty checks, your choice of A-list direct marketing clientele, and a reputation as a “god” of direct marketing…

In fact, it’s not a stretch to say…

Each of These Titans of Direct Response
Has Made Their Career AND Personal Fortune
By Creating Winning Campaigns…

And it’s not really an accident…

As a matter of habit, these Titans have all become avid lifetime students of the world’s best direct marketing. Always looking at the best-of-the-best and thinking…

“What has this incredible marketer done that I could use in my next campaign?”

And…

“What haven’t they done that I could use to do even better?”

Through the years, this study has led to each and every one of these Titans having such a storehouse incredible marketing wisdom that they could go into almost any business, in any industry, and immediately create profitable marketing campaigns that would boost profits by substantial volumes.

And consistently, each of these Titans will tell you something else…

They’re Not Self-Made…
They ALL Stand on the Shoulders of Giants!

Every Titan — from Dan Kennedy to Gary Bencivenga to Greg Renker to Jay Abraham, and all the others (me too!)— learned from others.

They each discovered tremendous amounts of “do this, not that” wisdom by sitting at the feet of their own teachers, soaking up every bit of marketing wisdom that was offered.

And while each would go on to apply it in their own unique way, it was only because they were building on what came before that they were able to ascend to such great heights…

Today, A NEW Generation of Titans
Is Being Born…

I was blown away at The Titans of Direct Response event…

Before the event, I’d been accused of simply stoking the embers of an “old boys club.” Some suggested Titans was the last hurrah of an aging generation of direct mail experts. (Never mind the fact that the Titans collectively are responsible — TODAY — for well over $1 billion per year in revenue in nearly every media you can imagine.)

It was clear from who was in attendance that this was anything but. YES, there were many of my old “direct mail” friends — including many who are running online operations in the tens of millions of dollars, some $100 million or more.

But there was also many younger marketers, recognizing that the timeless principles and strategies of world-class direct response marketing can be adapted to apply to ANY media.

The youngest marketer in attendance, less than 20 years old. Many, in their 20s, 30s, and 40s.A good balance of women and men. Countries represented from every corner of the globe.

All, coming together, in one room…

Recognizing that by learning from the Titans of today, discovering the “do this, not that” truths of direct marketing…

You, Too, Can Become a Titan —
And Enjoy the Success and Fortune
That Comes With It…

It was only under a very special set of circumstances that I was able to bring these Titans together for the first and last time, at a single event…

And it’s unlikely to happen again — at least until the NEXT generation of direct response Titans…

But even if you weren’t in attendance, you haven’t missed out completely…

Because the Titan-level direct response marketing and business-building wisdom that was shared was recorded, edited, and packaged together in an exclusive 12-DVD set.

I challenged them to bring their best-of-the-best— befitting this once-in-a-lifetime event…Much of what was shared from the stage at The Titans of Direct Response had never been revealed before… And hasn’t been revealed since!

And now YOU are going to have the opportunity to enjoy, take in, and profit from each of the Titans’ presentations — from the comfort of your home or office…

Now YOU Can Stand
On The Shoulders of These Giants…

Taking full advantage of all the “do this, not that” direct response strategies, principles, and tactics they shared…

And yet… I won’t even ask you to wait for the DVDs to start profiting from the most powerful lessons shared on stage at The Titans of Direct Response.

Just by reading this letter, you’ll discover…

Dan Kennedy’s single-biggest buying trigger he hides in ALL copy he writes to boost response and profits…

The most powerful mental “hack” Gary Bencivenga has discovered in 40 years of research — can be used to be more productive, write better copy, and achieve your biggest goals…

And more, all revealed below…

Read On, And You’ll Get These
Direct Marketing Secrets to
Creating Bigger Winners, More Often…

Of course, those of you who are serious students of the craft may recognize this lesson. If you’ll allow me to be a little transparent here…

Gary Bencivenga, one of the most successful copywriters ever, is well known for packing his sales copy with useful information. For many years, it was his secret “control-beating” weapon. (Now it’s pretty much a bare minimum requirement for getting a control.) Gary would pack his magalogs, bookalogs, and other promotions full of valuable little tidbits, lessons, and flat-out giveaways that made you want to keep reading. All the way through the sales process, he’d keep delivering value!

I’m getting a little bit ahead of myself here, because I’m not ready to introduce Gary’s presentation yet. And I certainly don’t claim to write copy like Gary — he’s one of a kind!

But I’m going to do my best to be a good student of Gary, and share at least one big takeaway from each Titan here in my letter about the DVDs.

And I’ll start with my kick-off presentation setting the stage for “The Event of The Decade,” with a lesson on..

How to Achieve Titan-Level Success!

I’ve spent 34 years in this business, helping build one of the world’s top direct response publishers to $150 million in annual revenue.

I’ve seen too many marketers come and go — careers, profits, and businesses flare up and fizzle out (sometimes ending in deep financial despair).

And I’ve seen a few who’ve endured as long as my career. Folks who used direct marketing to not only build their personal fortunes, but do amazing things. Connect with, meet, and work alongside some of the world’s most brilliant and influential people. To invent and create a life of abundance for themselves far beyond most folks’ wildest hopes and dreams.

Personally, I’ve dined with world leaders, industry transformers, Nobel Prize winners, and yes, the greats of direct response marketing. I hesitate to list them because I will just as surely offend those omitted as honor those I include.

I’ve become a leader in our field. And connected with many of the greats — not just as colleagues, but as personal friends.

And when I decided I wanted to do the impossible — bring all these greats together under one roof, one time only, to share their secrets…

I managed to get all these Titans to say yes!

(Including folks who have turned down “blank check” speaking offers.)

This wasn’t an accident.

For the last 34 years, I’ve lived my life and built my career on the premise that it’s better to give than to get. That it’s better to be generous in business and life than to always come out on top.

Has it ever come back to bite me? Sure. But by giving 100% and expecting nothing in return, I’ve been able to get pretty much everything I ever wanted from life, and a whole lot more.

This isn’t just “self-help” — it’s a marketing principle to apply in offers, a business principle for negotiations, a life principle to be used every day.

Throughout my opening address at Titans, I shared real-life stories of how to apply this lesson in your life and business.)

But that’s just the beginning, because in my presentation you’ll also discover…

Why helping your competitors get rich may be the single-best way to succeed in business…

“Logic Lines” — this simple test determines if your copy is dead in the water (if you can ask one simple question, you can stop failing copy before it mails — also works for other ideas in business)…

Attract success by being “dumb” — or, how to use people smarter than you to build your business…

Why many of the smartest YOUNG direct marketers in the world came from as far away as Dubai, Thailand, and Australia for Titans — and what that says about the direct mail dinosaurs who took the stage…

A simple formula for surrounding yourself with the smartest, most successful, most amazing people you could ever hope to (or not even hope to) know…

Why Mentors Matter — can you become a Titan at anything without standing on the shoulders of other Titans? Maybe… But I wouldn’t risk it! (Here’s what kind of mentor you should be paying the most attention to…)

The Rear Admiral whose life was saved by telling him to get a colonoscopy — NOT a joke — the lesson in this story was the secret to gaining over 4 million HAPPY customers…

Are you a “life-saver”? This greater mission approach to business attracts success, fast…

Stupid little things that save lives (and how these can be used to make the world’s best copywriters — or anyone else — fall in love with you)…

Try this if you’re having trouble getting clients, customers, contacts, or friends to respond to your emails — works especially well for PROSPECTS…

“Life is long” — a handful of lessons from these three simple words (for business success AND a happy life)…

And yet, of course this was just the first presentation of a two-day conference…

Up next…

Dan Kennedy Reveals
The (Secret) SUPER-Psychology
Of Direct Response…

Dan’s spoken to marketers of every level of sophistication. From folks who’ve never heard the term “direct response” all the way up to, well, the Titans audience.

Dan himself was blown away by the high-level, sophisticated direct response marketers who came together for this event. And he knew he had to deliver some of the most advanced concepts and hidden secrets that have gone into his most successful ($50-million-plus) copy and marketing campaigns…

It will all start with an exclusive SAMPLE BOOK of Dan’s work, created only for this presentation, and this audience. This has only ever been shared with Titans attendees — but I’ve also arranged for YOU to get a copy with the DVDs. This book includes ads, sales letters, VSL scripts, and more — each worth between $1 million and $50 million to the clients…

This sample book is a companion toDan’s first-ever (and likely last) presentation on what he calls The (Secret) SUPER-Psychology of Direct Response.

With over 40 years in the business himself, Dan’s been around this racetrack a few times. And yet, he’s still innovating and coming up with new insights and new perspectives on how to create bigger, more profitable promotions each time out of the gates.

In Dan’s Words…
Here’s What He Put Together For
This EXCLUSIVE Presentation:

– 7 insights into the imbedded commands and behavioral triggers that the most powerful direct-response advertising, copy themes and offers connect to, at a primal level — that I take care to place in every pitch or presentation I craft. These are my ‘guiding lights’ somewhat akin to Ogilvy’s lanterns.

– Even top pros in direct-response at least overlook or neglect using this Super-Psychology in whole or part… Many may not even be fully aware of it and how it works.

– I would challenge even the most experienced, most successful, wealthiest marketer, marketing company CEO, or top tier copywriter in attendance to honestly say he exits this discussion without a new, sharper, clearer, deeper viewpoint on creating maximum response to apply in practical ways to existent and future advertising. (For example: “unbeatable,” existent controls can be challenged with one or more of these seven Super-Psychology concepts.)

– I have never before crystallized, condensed, and shared this with any but a handful of top, private clients or peers. It does not exist in recorded or published form.”

One of the most fundamental premises of Dan’s presentation was on a clear distinction between weak copy and copy that can generate millions of dollars in sales.

In short, beginning copywriters — and copywriters who never progress — get stuck in “by the rules” copy that superficially follows all the recommendations from folks like Caples, Schwab, and others.

And yet this “beginner” approach can completely miss the mark if it doesn’t touch on the dark, suppressed, often hidden emotional factors that make people buy (or not).

For example, one of Dan’s favorite ways to increase sales is to tap into our almost universal desire to escape, to find greener pastures, to be somewhere or someone else.

He explained how in selling to business owners, he sells business reinvention over improvement. While ultimately he may deliver a way for the business owner to increase profits, they’re far less interested in that than, for example, having a business that runs itself and allows them to take vacations without checking in nine times a day on what’s going on back in the shop.

And escape was just one of the 7 “Dark Arts” desires Dan covered. His presentation was packed full of these examples — referencingspecific “swipe file” copy examples in the sample book you’ll get with the DVDs.

I’ve taken a ton of notes on some of the other items Dan covered, and as you watch the DVDs you’ll want to be on the lookout for these…

Howard Stern’s offensive opening comment at Joan Rivers’ memorial service (Dan was there) — and how to use its lesson to get instant attention for your selling message…

Why Dan doesn’t think so much about “writing copy” — what he thinks about instead when clients pay him upwards of $100,000 to write a sales letter…

The “Auto Mechanic” trap that keeps most copywriters — hired gun or writing for your own business — from ever getting any good at writing copy (this also applies to marketers)…

5 “default” marketing approaches that shout HACK and ROOKIE from a mile away — they may work okay for newbies, but rely on them too much and you’ll put a glass ceiling on your success…

Fill in the blanks, become a master salesperson in print: “The dominant thing that affects successful influence is ‘Have we tapped into the _________ of the _________ we’re attempting to persuade?'”

4 Guiding Principles for tapping into The (Secret) SUPER-Psychology of Direct Response…

How customers and prospects NORMALLY act — what you do about this can kill the sale instantly, or spur massive buying action…

Muggers and copywriters get the same reaction from prospects — how you handle it (or don’t) could double or triple response…

The ONLY 2 kinds of sales copy that exist…

How to decide whether or not you should MANIPULATE prospects in your advertising — a simple test…

If Dan Kennedy had to wager his house on an ad’s performance, here’s what he’d put into it…

The “boxes” approach for what every SUCCESSFUL direct response ad must contain…

Yin-yang wisdom in copywriting — the only way to use dark emotions in your copy to actually drive response (instead of leaving your reader in a whimpering pile on their kitchen floor)…

Pornos, condoms, and empty whiskey bottles — would you go this far to sell? (True story!)

How to sell a product nobody wants, and won’t admit they need (even more powerful if your product holds some inherent appeal)…

If you have salespeople (who can’t sell, or who sell inconsistently), do this to maximize their closing ratio…

Secrets A-list copywriters don’t want you to know (ESPECIALLY if you’re a rookie writer going head-to-head with them to “beat the control”)…

Why “normal and customary behavior” is your greatest enemy — specific examples for beating it in every piece of copy you send out…

Dan’s favorite negative emotion — “Do you leave your pet at home alone all day in a quiet, empty, unstimulating, depressingly lonely house?” The most common answer to this question reveals a HUGE marketing lesson (and sells truckloads of robot cat toys!)…

$1 Billion in Sales with Direct Mail!

Together, these writers have been responsible for a conservatively-estimated 628 million “control” pieces of profitable direct mail since 1995 (and more before that!)… These are the top current copywriters I’ve worked directly with, and among the very best A-list copywriters living today.

Parris Lampropoulos

On the DVDs, you’ll get to sit down with us as I grill these writers on how A-list copywriters think and work and beat each other’s controls (and what you need to do if you want to knock them off the “control” throne). You’ll discover their secrets to “sales multiplied” ad copy that mails profitably to millions, even tens of millions of households…

And here’s a fascinating fact: between everyone on stage, this panel represents WELL OVER $1 BILLION in sales generated through direct mail (one $39 product at a time)!

Every time I sit down and talk with one of these writers, or watch them break down something they’ve written, or critique someone else’s work, I get a deeper understanding into what makes buyers tick…

And how to generate maximum response with your sales copy!

And so I pulled that out through dialog with them, there on stage at Titans. We dissected their thinking. Showing YOU how to immediately apply it to revamp and re-energize your current promotions, plus amplify the selling power of everything you write in the future.

(Or use it to simply recognize good copy from the writers you hire, and provide feedback that will make it great! There was much talk not only about how to BE a great copywriter, but also how to HIRE and work with great copywriters.)

IF YOU’RE MOSTLY AN “ONLINE” MARKETER:

Well, this will be especially valuable for you. I have a saying that “$1 per thousand marketing deserves $500 per thousand thinking.” (And another that “single-channel marketing is so boring” — but I’ll hold off on that for later!)

If you’re spending something like $1 per 1000 names on your email list to get your message delivered, it doesn’t mean you should accept just any weak pitch that you can cobble together. Even if you can eke out a profit at marginal response rates, you’re eroding trust and decreasing the value and future responsiveness of your list.

When you apply the proven selling principles used by the A-list, best writers of $500+ per thousand direct mail, you’ll immediately increase your sales and profits. Your customers will love you more, and stick with you longer. You’ll be able to profitably acquire leads and reach new markets that your lazier (or less astute) competitors won’t. And you’ll be able to build your business into a Titan of your industry.

And it will all start by listening to our “Mount Rushmore.”

HUGE Takeaway from This “Mount Rushmore”
Group of A-List Copywriters…

These copywriters are research fiends. They know that ONE good piece of research they can share with a reader can be the difference between getting twice the response of the current control, or half it.

And so frequently, in the course of research, they’d find something that wasn’t in the editorial. Maybe it’d been cut in their client’s editing process. Maybe it was something the editors just hadn’t found yet. The critical point is that they found it OUTSIDE the product itself.

But because this little proof point was so incredibly powerful, they’d grab the phone and call our editors, and almost shout into the phone, “YOU HAVE TO LET ME INCLUDE THIS IN THE COPY!”

And so — through product edits, bonus reports, or some other delivery mechanism — the editors and copywriters would find a way to deliver this delicious, juicy, response-getting tidbit…

By knowing what people will respond to — and finding a way to get it included in the offer — these copywriters give themselves a HUGE advantage over the copywriters that won’t take these drastic measures.

Parris Lampropoulos refers to this as, “Don’t leave your best material on the cutting room floor.” He’s well known for getting controls around this concept.

Gene Schwartz was ALSO known for this — in fact, he’d write an ad first, based on all the juiciest material he could dig up, then put together the editorial to suit. (The similarity is NOT an accident.)

This is just one of the incredible lessons you’ll pick up from listening to the “Mount Rushmore” panel. Others include…

Response-getting secrets of the most successful copywriter you’ve never heard of…

Why finding a client or friend who disagrees with everything you do will make you a better copywriter…

“The Iceberg Effect” and believable copy — this is why Parris Lampropoulos, a health copywriter, was my second phone call after getting diagnosed with prostate cancer…

The most powerful way to use mundane, irrelevant details from your product to boost sales… (If these copywriters did it with one sentence about saran wrap… And another time with a sentence about farts… YOU can certainly pull it off!)

How clients can make more sexy products for copywriters to sell. This not only contains the secret for more profits, it’s how to create a dopamine surge in your customer’s brain and make your marketing literally addictive to read.

And Then…

A Moment the Direct Response World
Thought Would Never Happen…

Gary Bencivenga Speaks… Again!

Just in case you’re one of the tiny fraction of the direct response world who doesn’t recognize what a momentous occasion this is, here’s a quick background.

Nearly every A-list direct response copywriter today tells their own version of this story: Once they hit the big leagues in this business, they recognized one copywriter whose copy was head and shoulders above the rest: Gary Bencivenga. When they opened the mailbox, they’d go twitterpated if there was a new piece of Gary’s copy in there. And they’d spend the next month dissecting every line, every word, to TRY to capture his brilliance.

As A-list copywriter Doug D’Anna has put it…

“If a copywriter beats the control one out of four times, you’ve got a really good copywriter. If he beats it two out of four times, you’ve got a great copywriter. If he beats it seven out of eight times, you’ve got Gary Bencivenga.”

I was fortunate to work directly with Gary on many of his most famous, successful promotions. Once he got the control for my company’s flagship product, he didn’t give it up until retirement.

Gary was, in fact, on my ORIGINAL “Mount Rushmore of Copywriters.” He, Jim Rutz, Mel Martin, and Gene Schwartz would have rounded out the panel of writers who built our publishing company from zero to over $100 million. Today’s “Mount Rushmore” all speak of Gary with extreme reverence.

Gary famously NEVER shared his methods, except in hints to clients who’d pay him at least $25,000 per project plus royalties (he was the FIRST to charge royalties).

He gave ONE interview, as he retired — with Ken McCarthy, another Titan who spoke at this event. And this was only ever made available to Ken’s private System Club students. (But thanks to Ken and Gary’s generosity, YOU get a complimentary copy of that 4-CD recording with your DVDs — more info below!)

And then he put on ONE seminar.The only one he ever spoke at. It was his retirement send-off party. It was one of the few once-in-a-lifetime events I’ve ever attended. It was sold out at $5,000 per seat, and DVDs have only ever been made available at $5,000 per set.

Then Gary took a vow of silence. He would never present at another marketing seminar, or teach copywriting, ever again.

In fact, I was starting to put together the event that would become Titans. I was trying to decide what to do for this year’s event. And when I proposed a workshop featuring him, he politely declined.

But then word spread among his friends — the other A-list copywriters who spoke at Titans — what a big deal this event was becoming.

And so—at the 11th hour—Gary approached me and said, “I wouldn’t do this for anyone else, but you can count me in.”

I count Gary as a close friend and confidant. He worked closely with both me and my personal business mentor, as we built our company. (They were two peas in a pod — with a shared marketing tenacity that made them, and our business, totally unstoppable.)

And it was because of that close personal relationship and long-time partnership in business, that Gary made his FIRST and probably FINAL exception to his “vow of silence” for this event…

Gary was a silent assassin on any control. He loved the financial rewards, of course. (The royalties from just ONE mailing — that mailed over 100-million pieces — bought his oceanfront home in the Hamptons.)

However, it was winning that mattered most to him. He spent his entire career with this one question in his mind: “What is the secret to winning consistently against the best copywriters in the business?” And because of the system he developed — The Bencivenga Persuasion Equation ® — he reached a point where he’d win 85% of the time, almost no matter whose copy he was competing with.

Gary Would Even Go So Far as to
Beat The Pants Off His Own Controls!

In the mid-1990s, Gary had the latest control for our flagship newsletter. It was a gimmicky survey piece bringing in an off-the-charts response on a “bill-me” offer. But the pay-up was low, so he wanted to do better.

Gary took a complete 180-degree turn, and tested brand new copy, in a brand new format. A “bookalog” called “The Little Black Book of Secrets.” (You will also get a copy of this — see below.)

He did it again!

Before we could bring in another A-list copywriter to beat Gary, he’d beaten himself. It got to the point that many times out, we’d just hire Gary again to beat his own control — it was our best bet for finding an even bigger winner.

As you can imagine, getting inside Gary’s mind is a rare treat. That’s why we’re so fortunate that…

Gary Broke His Vow of Silence to Share…

Brand-New Content!

… And it’s only available — now or ever — on these DVDs.

Gary understandably chose NOT to repeat the content he shared at his Bencivenga 100 retirement seminar. Condensing those two magical days into 60 minutes would never do it justice. And besides, there are a few copies of those DVDs still available, if you’re serious about learning his methods.

Rather, Gary looked back on his life and career to identify those core principles that made him one of the greatest minds in marketing… Generating $100s of millions in sales for our company and his other clients. He called it, “How Your Life Is Going to Change in the Next 60 Minutes.”

One of My Most Powerful Takeaways:
The Inner Game of The World’s Best Copywriter…

Maybe contrary to what many would assume, Gary spent very little time focusing on the techniques of copywriting. Yes, he’d read Scientific Advertising every year, and has a substantial library of sales and marketing resources.

And yet, far more important to Gary was his thinking.

He knew if he didn’t have his thinking right on a project, it wouldn’t be successful. No matter how hard he tried to apply all the other tools of his trade.

One little thing Gary would do every day (and still does!) was something he called “bookending your day.”

At the very end of each day, Gary spends maybe 10 quiet minutes going through what tomorrow will bring.

Especially, his most important project to tackle. If he’s working on headlines, he implores his subconscious to start working on the headlines while he sleeps. If he’s looking for a good idea, or a new way to present something old or ordinary, he’ll ask that of his subconscious.

By spending those 10 minutes, he activates certain powers of his mind to do that work for him while he sleeps. And sure enough, by asking, he receives.

And then, for the other bookend, he starts each day with an “hour of power.” This is where he focuses for an hour in the morning — preferably the first — on the most important thing to be done for the day.

Don’t underestimate these techniques. Gary has spent his entire life investigating the human mind — and how you can tap into its powers to become more successful with less effort. His unparalleled success in direct response is a testament to this lifetime of study.

In his presentation, he dug even deeper into how to tap into the greatest powers of your mind, to achieve greater business and life success. Plus, he pulled back the curtain to reveal some of his inner workings on consistently writing control-beating copy, including his famous teachings on The Bencivenga Persuasion Equation®

Here’s some of the other gems Gary revealed…

Gary is one of my own dearest friends and personal mentors. I don’t make an important business decision without consulting Gary, or at the very least asking “What would Gary do?”

Before he agreed to come out, I already considered this a “once-in-a-lifetime” event. Certainly the best marketing-related event of the decade. And yet I knew… The best would be even better with Gary. With his 11th-hour choice to come out for Titans, there was nothing that could make this a more special occasion.

While you may have missed being there in person, you’ll want to grab the DVDs to make sure you get every word of what Gary shared from stage.

Another BONUS GIFT You’ll Get with the DVDs!

Greatest Hits of Direct Mail

Library of Direct Mail Control Packages…

While I’m on the topic of some of the top copywriters to have ever worked with the big direct mail companies, you may notice a few names that perhaps should be mentioned… Folks like Clayton Makepeace, Jim Rutz, Jim Punkre, Mel Martin, Gene Schwartz, and others…

All legends… Titans…

Among the best copywriters to have ever walked the planet. And all folks I’ve paid top dollar for to help grow our business… Knowing that an investment of $25,000, $50,000, even $100,000 in getting a single direct mail piece written could come back 10X or even 100X over, when it became a winner.

Over the last few decades we amassed a library of some of these copywriters’ greatest work… As PROVEN in the marketplace, by response generated.

And for the first time ever — for The Titans of Direct Response event — we dug into the archives. We uncovered a treasure trove from our “Mount Rushmore of Copywriters” featured at the event and on the DVDs… PLUS Gary Bencivenga… PLUS the superstars listed above.

We pulled out just about every control package we can find that mailed profitably to AT LEAST 1 million names… Many in the 10s of millions… Together, a total of over 1 billion pieces of profitable direct mail.

Studying great copy is the single-most valuable thing you can do if you want to make millions in this business. This is the work of the masters.

One of the most consistent things the best copywriters I’ve ever worked with did to become master closers in print is to hand-copy great sales letters and promotions, to absorb their selling secrets on a subconscious level.

When you request your copies of the DVDs, you’ll ALSO get two books of these controls, printed out for a lifetime of reference and true hands-on study…

That’s 800 pages of the most powerful direct mail ever written.

Plus, you get added commentary on each promotion, with the inside story on how it worked and the biggest takeaway lessons you can get from it. Stick these on the bookshelf closest to your desk, and they’ll be a reference for life.

This collection alone is enough to elevate your game to the highest level.

And it’s yours at no additional cost, with the DVDs. (And — aside from being given to Titans attendees — has never been available anywhere else, at any price.)

After Gary’s talk, you’ll hear from…

The Founding Father and
Original Titan of Internet Marketing:
Ken McCarthy

I know this sounds like hyperbole. But Ken actually put on the very first internet marketing seminar, in Silicon Valley, in 1994 — just as the Netscape browser was launching and the “visual” internet was being born.

He then went on, in the 2000s, to create The System Seminar. Today, nearly every so-called “guru” of internet marketing was either a System grad, or learned their chops secondhand from one of Ken’s students.

Ken’s annual System training was the “Mecca” of internet marketing — and ALL the greats I know of in direct response were there at least one time, if not year after year.

Ken seldom speaks anymore. He has a small group of grads who he’s still serving to this day, years after the last System training. To talk to him for an hour, you’re going to write a $2,000 check.

But as you watch the DVDs from The Titans of Direct Response, you’ll hear Ken break down exactly how to apply the proven model of The System today. (It works as well as it ever has.) This is critical insight when social media, mobile, and so many other new distractions are competing for your marketing resources.

Ken has never been one to chase the latest and greatest, the newest, the “shiny objects.” When he discovered what worked — that internet marketing profits was nothing more than qualified traffic and consistent conversions — he stuck with it.

That’s why so many HUGE internet marketing successes today can point back to Ken as their original teacher of how to be successful online.

And yet, Ken has also watched internet marketers and business builders commit far more disappointing failures than successes in his 20+ years in internet marketing (a number almost nobody can match!). Too often, he’s observed those failures stem from one thing. Fads. Or using today’s catch phrase, “Fear of missing out.”

You’ll hear Ken’s straight talk. How to evaluate opportunity — and how to ignore shiny objects. (Using a really simple approach — once you understand it, you’ll never forget it.)

Any good investor knows that if you lose 50% on an investment, you have to make 100% on your next one to be back at breakeven. The same principle applies in business. Success can be as much about avoiding traps as anything else. And Ken reveals the best way to avoid the trappings of internet marketing “shiny objects”…

In his words…

“The things that lead to great accomplishment are not sexy or glamorous, so they’re rarely practiced, rarely taught, and therefore rarely learned.”

And when you set aside that lust for the sexiest tactic or new (social) media opportunity today… And decide you really want to make money with internet marketing using what will generate maximum profits in minimum time (with a hat tip to Gary Halbert)… You can follow the rest of what Ken shared…

“Ultimate worth” success secret… How to make money in any market, as entrepreneur or employee…

As you watch Ken, you’ll get INSTANT CLARITY on the best way to use the internet and other new media to multiply your direct response business. Using repeatable systems that multiply your profits while shrinking your work load.

While Ken is known for being one of the Founding Fathers of modern internet marketing, he’d hardly consider himself an “Internet Marketer.” That’s part of what makes his approach so dang effective — and he bared all on the Titans stage.

The next speaker, one of Ken’s most successful graduates from The System Seminar…

Perry Marshall Broke Down
THE Most Important Lesson
For Direct Marketers Tomorrow…
(Not Just Today)

Perry is one of my most valued “new” friends in marketing. I first met him at one of Ken’s System Seminars years ago. And he’s since went on to become…

The world’s most-quoted expert on Google AdWords, and the author of the best-selling book on how to use Google’s direct response platform to turn on instant sales for your business…

The most cutting-edge Facebook advertising expert on the planet, using scientific inquiry and proven direct response techniques to uncover huge new lead and customer sources at a fraction of what you can get them elsewhere…

AND — as if the above two weren’t enough — the NEW go-to guy on The 80/20 Principle, applying it to finding opportunities for 10X profits from your current business (He’s built 80/20 into every level of his business and is experiencing exponential success as a result. And he’s the only guy who has ever put on a seminar with Richard Koch, $200-millionaire and author of the original 80/20 Principle business classic.)…

Prior to this year’s “Titans” event, my events were primarily closed-door, invitation-only workshops for “Friends and Family.” One speaker, for one whole day… Laying out the most cutting-edge, transformative principles and strategies for multiplying your business.

Last year’s event featured Perry… Where he broke down 80/20 and how to square it, cube it, and more to multiply your business many, many times over… Including a tool he uses to create instant cash infusions by uncovering “whales” in your current customer file.

Perry’s teachings have completely transformed my thinking.

And while I expected him to deliver on this — and he did — what he gave was so much more.You’re going to want to pay extra attention on the DVDs as Perry explains…

Perry came out swinging. Even just 10 years ago, we direct marketers had a huge advantage. We tracked what works, and we knew it.

We measured more, tracked more, tested more, and learned from it. And so we could walk into a market and dominate it simply with better marketing.

All of that has changed.

Google AdWords was really the first big breakthrough of direct marketing into the mainstream. And being the world’s most quoted expert on the platform, Perry has an interesting perspective.

Since AdWords went mainstream, direct marketing went mainstream. Our testing practices and principles became a core part of what even big, institutional advertisers are doing. Maybe not everywhere yet, but certainly online.

Because it’s now everywhere, direct marketing is becoming more and more of a commodity. It’s not the point of differentiation it was even a decade ago.

Simply writing copy, or knowing how to run a test, or targeting an audience has become an entry-level skill. If you want to achieve huge success (either as a consultant or in your own direct response business), you have to do more and be more.

Perry gave specific examples — which you’ll get on the DVD — of the kind of value you need to be able to bring to the table if you want to be a success in direct marketing into the future.

The good news is that it actually raises your game to a whole new level — Perry’s now working with folks with 9- and 10-figure net worth who are rabidly applying this new approach to direct marketing to today’s and tomorrow’s business environment.

As you watch Perry’s talk, here’s just some of what you can expect…

From failed salesperson to direct marketing success in one year, and recognized expert status within five — Perry Marshall’s secret to rapid success…

The strategy chasm between what it took to be successful in direct marketing 20 years ago, and what it takes today (and no, we’re NOT talking tech or internet skills)…

Gödel, the liar’s paradox, and how to multiply your business 10X when your competitors are stuck… First reaction: “What is Perry talking about?” Next: “WOW! That’s powerful!”

$5 trick to get great headlines fast (also suggests copywriters better get a new skill set to make six figures or more)…

Claude Hopkins stunning prophecy — and what it means to your business today (NOT all good, even for Hopkins students)…

How to beat controls more powerfully, more consistently than you ever have before… (Using simple step-by-step method.)

Marketing diversification secret… If you only have one sales story, it’s as bad as only using one media, or having one product — if you have a pen, paper, and 30 minutes, you can come up with dozens of possibilities to sell more…

Miracle performed on stage — watch Perry demonstrate the fastest, easiest way to write emotionally-charged copy in seconds, for a business and product he’d never heard about and not researched before a man in the front row raised his hand….

The ONE direct marketing skill that will ensure you NEVER become a commodity… Also makes you worth twice as much (or better) to clients…

The fractal nature of direct marketing — reveals how to get smarter, happier, higher-paying customers and clients (touches every aspect of your business)…

How to use customers to come up with better headlines, sales hooks, and positioning statements — may even beat A-list copywriters at their own game!

How to identify which products are bound to fail — no matter how good of a marketer you are, peddling products with this one characteristic makes total implosion just a matter of time…

Secret to selling products without a sales letter (or much of a sales process at all — Perry: “This is where the money is!” and you won’t be able to argue)…

Picasso and profits — what does “art” have to do with completely dominating your market? (Beyond any obvious assumptions about design, etc….)

True Story: Perry heard voices in his head, helped entrepreneur solve biggest legal challenge of his life within 4 minutes. What this means to you….

How to get off the hamster wheel of business — if you feel like you have to work harder to make more, this 5 minutes will change your life completely…

How to absolutely, completely, totally dominate a market… 4 criteria for evaluating winning business opportunities, hit business “home runs” consistently…

The death of the traditional info-marketing business… (What to do instead.)

Following Perry’s mind-expanding talk, be ready for even more…

Jay Abraham Will Turn Your Business on Its Head,
Creating a Brand New Sense of What’s Possible…
And Show You the Most Rapid,
Efficient Path from Here to There…

I have Jay Abraham’s picture on the back of my office door. And it’s not because of some strange fascination I have with the guy.

In the 80s and 90s, practically everybody in the entire newsletter industry was prostrating ourselves at his feet. He “got it” like nobody else. You’d talk to him for a few minutes, and he’d uncover an opportunity to double your business that was, in retrospect, sitting in plain sight. “Once blind, but now I see,” is the best way of describing the type of hidden opportunities Jay has always been able to uncover.

And he continues to do so with The Abraham Mind Shift Challenge.

He points out the gold that’s sitting right there, at the surface, ready to be mined… But that’s been all but invisible to you until he opened his mouth.

IMPORTANT: Jay and I decided that he would not deliver a speech, as valuable as that would be. Rather, I’m conducted a RARE AND EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW with Jay, on stage, where I forced him to distill his years of experience and his wide range of ‘systems’ into the most immediately-actionable steps you can take to unearth breakthrough opportunities in your business. You’ve never seen or heard Jay work like this before! (Immediately afterwards he emailed me asking for a copy of his own interview to study.)

Jay had all sorts of immediately actionable profit-boosting ideas come out of this discussion. After Titans, I had one attendee, Casey Slaughter-Stanton, say… .”134% improvement on an optin, A/B split test, based on a lesson I learned from [Jay at] Titans. [He said,] ‘Tell them what you’re giving them and WHY. Show them what you want them to do.’ Simple copy re-write, new headline that was more focused on WHY and boom.”

When Jay revealed this lesson, I recognized that it was THE perfect example of the simple solutions to complex problems Jay is famous for…

“Every problem you need solved in your business is the opposite side of the coin of someone else’s problem that needs to be solved.”

Let’s unravel that for a moment, using a very common example that was an absolute breakthrough in its day.

As mail order marketers started developing lists of customers, they realized they couldn’t get new offers in the mail fast enough to fully satisfy customers’ desire to buy more. Almost no matter how many offers they’d send at people, revenues would keep pouring in. But there’s a problem here.

Unless you can create products and new offers as fast as your customers can buy, the amount of money you’re getting is always less than what they’re willing to spend.

So how do you serve this rabid customer base?

Well, somewhere there’s another skilled marketer with a valuable offer and great copy, looking for more customers. By renting access to your list to this other marketer, you’re able to generate more revenue from the same customer base (solving your problem) and they’re able to get more customers for their offer (solving their problem).

Now it’s obvious that this applies to list rentals and joint ventures, but this can apply at every level of your business. Product sourcing. Staffing. Fulfillment. Real estate. And so much more.

Here’s some more of what Jay revealed in our interview…

Perhaps the greatest business-building mind of our time — what HIS missing piece was, what he thinks about when growing a business today…

How to position yourself against your competitors for higher sales and to dominate a market (without looking like a jerk)…

Secret to rapid and sustained business growth — split a business into these two parts, use the first to stimulate instant cash infusion and the second to multiply top-line and bottom-line results…

How to use Jay’s greatest ($9.4 billion) advantage to grow your business without paying him a penny in consulting fees…

$500 million candy company “cash-out” — the ONE, basic marketing principle this company learned from Jay, and the true story of how they went from #3 to #1 in the Chinese market and made half a billion dollars as a result…

Marketing wonder drug — “Misunderstood, underutilized” — what it is, and Jay’s top strategy for using it to dominate any market…

How to sell more by NOT selling your product, and what to sell instead…

How to make $10 million in the next 12 months on almost a $0 investment — true story from another Jay student in manufacturing industry, can be applied in any market…

$1 billion worth of “affiliate” deals — what this experience taught Jay about what to do (and what not to) to maximize revenue — and the flaw it revealed in 99.9% of affiliate relationships, why they never make any money…

What Jay Abraham would do differently if he started over today — lesson can be applied immediately to increase your lifetime income, also happiness…

“What everybody should be doing differently in their business.” I asked Jay what question I should have asked that I didn’t — what he said will blow you away…

By the time you’re done watching Jay’s interview on the DVDs, you’ll see new possibilities in your business for doubling, tripling, even growing ten times or more. With tiny actions you can take right now, to leverage hidden opportunities sitting right there in plain sight.

And Then Watch Joe Sugarman Reveal
How to Enjoy Success after Success after Success…
(A Model YOU Can Copy!)

Joe is, among other things, a Titan of testing.

His space ads for “space age” gadgetry practically invented the market Sharper Image later dominated. His JS&A ads paved the way decades beforehand, selling pocket calculators, digital watches, and cordless telephones by mail when they were still rare (or unavailable) on store shelves…

Then he went on to sell over 20 million pairs of BluBlocker sunglasses by direct response, including space ads, TV, the internet, and more…

All the way, testing strategies, tactics, new media… The works!

He was among the first to take credit cards via direct response… And to use toll-free 800 numbers in ads to get orders… He was an infomercial pioneer, and an early adopter of the home shopping TV channels to drive sales…

And he’s written some of the best books on copywriting — based on over four decades of tried-and-tested, proven direct response methods developed in his own businesses…

And one of Joe’s biggest secrets to success has always been TESTING EVERYTHING — and in the early days of building his multiple, multi-million-dollar direct response businesses, Joe would have loved to have the opportunity that you get simply by watching the Titans DVDs…

To sit down and take in all these great minds… Absorb their very best strategies, ideas, and principles… And take them home and immediately put them to work in his own businesses…

That’s why — like I did with Jay — I tapped Joe’s brilliance through an EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW and got him to reveal how he relentlessly tests anything that looks like a good idea (which the Titans DVDs are FULL of)… And uses that to create success after success — now spanning more than four decades. Along with his best recommendations for what YOU can do in YOUR business to create optimum impact as a result of watching these DVDs…

My Lesson from Joe:
Find the Selling Story

Joe is famous for his stories. In fact, you could frequently tell a JS&A ad with the logo blacked out — just because of the stories Joe told…

Take his “thermostat” ad. Headline: “Magic Baloney.” Subhead: “You’ll love the way we hated the Magic Stat thermostat until an amazing thing happened.”

Or his ad written to sell one of his private planes. Headline: “Pet Plane.” Subhead: “This advertisement has not been paid for by Piper nor do I own any Piper stock.”

Or the famous BluBockers ad. Headline: “Vision Breakthrough.” Subhead: “When I put on the pair of glasses what I saw I could not believe. Nor will you.”

In every single ad — from the headline down — a story.

Perhaps the biggest lesson Joe shared from the stage at Titans was not just the power of these selling stories… But how YOU can uncover then tell these stories for nearly any product, using nearly any media, to create marketing success after marketing success.

Joe also pulled back the curtain and revealed…

Demonstration: Hip-hop street performer reveals how to deliver “man on the street” testimonials that entertain, sell (great example for infomercials, can be used for YouTube and more)…

True Story: How Joe took on a 98-pound weakling, and lost… This still impacts his life — 56 years later. (Huge lesson for direct response businesses.)

How to become a true entrepreneur… (Follow’s hero’s journey myth structure — guiding light for when business and life aren’t going your way.)

Joe said “no” to the “Swiss Army” folks when they asked him to sell their watches… Why he turned down selling 8 of 9 products, how he chose the one to sell, what he did with the other eight, and the huge lesson in testing and client management you can apply immediately (also reveals huge direct response principle)…

$2 million… Lost! What “best practice” Joe removed from his ads to boost response… And the accidental discovery of the 30% drop he’d caused in sales, $2 million in revenue he’d missed…

Rule for direct marketing success: “Direct marketing is very counterintuitive — what you think works, very often doesn’t; what you think doesn’t, very often does.” (How to figure out what works in every situation.)

As if this were enough…

Dan Called in Rare Favors to Bring in
Two Titans You’ll Almost Never See
at ANY Seminar, EVER.

When you’re putting on an event like this one, it certainly doesn’t hurt to have Dan Kennedy in your corner.

Because not only is he plugged in and connected to the best-of-the-best in the information marketing world… He’s also personally admired by some HUGE Titans who almost never show their faces at seminars or events.

And yet, because of the event this was becoming, Dan was willing to reach out to some of his most valued connections in the direct response business, to convince them to come share their wisdom and insights at Titans.

And now YOU get them too, on the DVDs. Starting with…

Greg Renker of Guthy|Renker Fame…$1.8 Billion per Year In
Direct Response Generated Revenue…

When Dan convinced Greg Renker to speak at Titans, I was flabbergasted. This is a guy who built a business that’s doing more than $1.8 billion annual revenue via direct response. He’s a DRTV Titan, but so much more than that.

He was in the inaugural class at the Direct Response Hall of Fame. He’s received awards from Ad Age, Fortune, and Inc. Magazine, the Horatio Alger Association, and the Electronic Retailing Association. His countless media appearances include The Wall Street Journal, People, “Good Morning America,” “CBS This Morning,” “NBC Nightly News,” “60 Minutes,” and “20/20.”

And all with good reason…

Guthy|Renker were instrumental in launching Tony Robbins to the heights he’s achieved, starting with their early Personal Power infomercials. If Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich has been an important book to you, you can thank Greg — their first infomercial in 1987 put the book back on the map.

They went on into the beauty and cosmetics market, and shared Victoria Principal’s beauty secret with the world. They were pioneers in the teeth whitening business, launching Perfect Smile with Vanna White.

And then — in a move that completely transformed the acne treatment market — they launched Proactiv. Which you can find advertised everywhere from your TV to your mailbox, all the way to direct sale vending machines in malls and shopping centers.

They’ve also gone on to launch products with dozens of celebrities, entertainers, and athletes… And continued to receive high praise from the direct response industry for their accomplishments.

As you’ll learn watching Greg, Guthy|Renker may be known asan infomercial business. Because that’s what the public sees of them 95% of the time. But that barely scratches the surface.

I mentioned my saying, “Single channel marketing is so boring.” I believe it so much, I even bought the domain name: SingleChannelMarketingIsSoBoring.com.

If you agree, you’ll find what Guthy|Renker does to be absolutely titillating!

Greg shared how he and his business partner — with no small contribution from Dan, who worked with them from their earliest infomercial days — built the business far beyond DRTV…

Into a continuity business… A renewal business… A direct mail business… An online and e-commerce business… A database marketing business… A direct sale vending machine business…

A TITAN!

When it comes to starting a direct response business… And growing it into NOT JUST a multi-million, BUT a multi-billion-dollar empire… We can all hold Greg’s business up as a paragon — a model to be studied, followed, and emulated.

And in this extremely rare appearance, you’re going to hear from the source himself what YOU need to do if you’d like to follow in his footsteps and achieve just some of your success.

One thing Greg mentioned as one of his personal success secrets is understanding amazing people when he sees them. And then trusting them to play a starring role in his operation. Along these lines, our conversation at Titans also featured Guthy|Renker Chief Marketing Officer Jay Sung. Jay’s a superstar at connecting the dots in all media, which leads me to…

My Biggest Lesson from Guthy|Renker:
“Star Wars Math”

Throughout my career, I’ve prided myself on the amount of time I spent on understanding lists — and the complex relationships between and within them. In fact, one of my biggest direct marketing mentors, Dick Benson, famously said, “Nobody spends enough time on lists.” To which I got him to add the amendment, “Except you, Brian.”

And yet I was blown away by what the team at Guthy|Renker is doing to understand the complex relationship between markets and media.

For example, they’re known as an infomercial business. But as I said, their business now extends into nearly every media, from search engines to shopping mall kiosks.

What they’re doing today is something Jay, their CMO, called “Star Wars Math.” That is, they’re modeling what impact infomercial views have on AdWords ads, for example. Knowing that we’re definitely NOT in a single channel world today. And that everything is connected in a giant feedback web that determines your total profitability.

This is something we experienced at our company when we dipped our toes into the infomercial business. At the height of our infomercial success, I was spending over $80 million per year on media, generating well over $100 million per year in revenues. We sold over 3 million books via direct response television over three years, at a front-end profit. (Very difficult!)

We even used an infomercial to turn a failed direct mail campaign around!

But the revelations in Greg and Jay’s talk run laps around even what we learned.

If you’re looking to grow your business beyond your first few million today — using multiple media — this is something you need to be on top of.

And yet, they covered so much more…

Does size matter? Our length lesson in infomercials: how we lost a ton of money, how we made $200 million… (And what we learned from Guthy|Renker that made the difference.)

“She laughed when I stayed up all night watching late-night infomercials…” Greg’s fiancée used to laugh at him for watching TV pitchmen late into the night, but his early obsession is a lesson to anyone destined for greatness…

Bill Guthy’s revelation about what business to be in — if you see this going on in your business, it may be time to pivot. Sparked $1.8-billion business for Guthy|Renker, can work for you…

How much failure to expect… Even at their level, Guthy|Renker still regularly run flops — lessons in managing failure, and success… (You’ll never develop single campaigns that generate $200- to $750-million in sales without this simple understanding.)

Cindy Crawford, behind-the-scenes… The true story of celebrity branding failure, an $18-million loss, how to manage differences of opinion with A-list clients and celebrities, and how to use direct response copywriting to turn failure into over $200 million per year…

How an infomercial Titan predicts whether an infomercial is likely to be a success… (Hint: Greg prefers NOT to watch the infomercial, here’s what he looks at instead.)

“We look at 50 new products per week.” The one criteria a product must have to rise to the top…

Super-simple formula for product stories that work… If a product has this going for it, it’s easy to sell via infomercial (and just about any other media)…

The “Secret Sauce” of Greg Renker: If you want to build a multi-billion dollar direct response business, you need to cultivate this trait — or find a partner who has it.

Greg Renker’s biggest takeaway from Gary Bencivenga… When 1+1=$1.8 billion. If Greg had an epiphany from this one lesson, certainly you can make it pay back your investment in the DVDs ten-, one-hundred-times over…

$20 million annual budget on celebrities… How to pick, invest in, partner with, and generate maximum results because of your relationship with superstars. Biggest differentiator between pain in the butt celebrities, and those that will feature prominently in $100-plus-million-dollar brands and campaigns.)

Multi-media secrets of one of the world’s biggest multimedia direct response marketing companies… How to identify ROI of campaigns in 10+ media simultaneously, and how to use that decision to scale (even if you’re only in 2, 3, 4 media)…

When NOT to trust your cost-per-order numbers in direct marketing…

How to use non-branded Google Search terms (“acne”) to boost ROI on branded search (“Proactiv”)… And how to use insanely BAD ROI on one campaign to get insanely GOOD ROI on the other.

Human behavior mapping method… Most marketers play tic-tac-toe trying to get response, Guthy|Renker plays chess. This thinking is on par with Gene Schwartz’s Breakthrough Advertising, and could completely change your business.

Capture attention of distracted prospects… 77% of TV viewers are now on another device (smart phone, tablet, laptop, computer) at the same time — how the world’s best infomercial marketers overcome fragmented attention.

700 straight weeks of the #1 infomercial product… Yes, the product is good — but you’ll be shocked at the fundamental direct response principle they use to beat competition to smithereens…

Testing discovery: Single bonus, two names bombed, and the third made a multi-million-dollar impact on profits (all came from “beat the control” testing)….

How infomercial length impacts target demographic… This rule may not work in your business (test it), but it’s highly consistent at Guthy|Renker…

Maybe the single-most important direct response “irresistible offer” concept — “If it’s not on the landing page, we get a different result.”

Prescription for business success… How much time “Doctor” Greg Renker recommends you spend reminding yourself of direct response principles every day — this and “an apple a day” and you’re good!

Greg Renker’s favorite marketing guru… Hint: he was in the room at Titans, hugely influential in Guthy|Renker’s success…

Why NOT to sell your direct response (infomercial, online, direct mail) product in retail… The true “dilutive” effect of moving customer relationship away from your business, advice based on, “If we could do it all over again, I probably wouldn’t…”

“$1 out of every $4… $1 out of every $5…” The two biggest online threats to direct marketers, to your relationship with your customer… “We’re terrified!” How Guthy|Renker is fighting back against “The Walmart Effect” online…

Secrets of “digital demand creation” — Guthy|Renker 2.0, how the next generation of consumers MUST be sold to today, and the best tools for winning direct response on the internet.

How Google went from “Do No Evil ” to “PURE EVIL” — Google’s sneaky business of undermining your conversions, and what you MUST do to fight back…

Simple principle Guthy|Renker used to become the #1 destination for A-list celebrities’ brand endorsements… Started with Tony Robbins, has only become more and more powerful ever since (also, breaks common Dan Kennedy direct response “dogma”)…

How to pick products that sell… What Greg Renker looks for, what immediately rules out even good products…

The three books Greg Renker re-reads, front-to-back every summer… Get all three today for less than $50 on Amazon…

When to fight a failure… And when to walk away. ($400 million product line was almost killed on arrival — making this one insight worth at least $400 million.)

The #1 most important thing Dan Kennedy wanted Greg Renker to reveal from the stage at Titans… Based on their client relationship, longer than many marriages, Dan thought Titans attendees needed to know this one secret…

“Backstage Pass” to Guthy|Renker product development process… How products go from zero to $100-plus-million brands in the world’s most successful infomercial business.

Old model: Product Launch = A then B then C then D. New Model: Product Launch = ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP all at once. How Guthy|Renker is managing complex, multifaceted, multimedia launches… Without driving themselves crazy!

The Napoleon Hill Think and Grow Rich success principle Greg Renker attributes much of their success to… When Jay Abraham asked about how they create growth, this was the first word that came out of Greg’s mouth…

When NOT to take profits out of your business… (Key to massive growth, success.)

How to drive consumption of your products using ALL of today’s media… (Key to non-stop, unlimited stream of recurring revenue!)

Tony Robbins recommended this book to Greg Renker… Should be on every direct marketer’s bookshelf — is it on yours?

Unexpected way Guthy|Renker would launch an infomercial business today… TV costs have skyrocketed, this guerilla tactic best way today to launch “DRTV” business…

The Amazing True Story ofBuilding a $20 Billion Business in Just 18 Months
On The Back Of Direct Response Radio,
From Fred Catona…

What would you think if I told you that you could generate 2.2 million responses to your advertising in 14 days? Now what if I told you that you could do it with ONLY radio advertising? Our next Titan has been there, done that — and he revealed his secrets. Now YOU will get them for yourself, as you watch his presentation…

As you’ll discover, radio is anything BUT a dead medium. In fact, you may or may not know that some of the biggest ONLINE promotions in the last few years used huge radio buys to drive traffic.

And while Fred Catona may not be a household name, many of his successes are.

Jay Walker, founder of Priceline.com, turned to Fred to launch their company in 1995… And over the next 18 months, they grew the company to over $20 billion valuation — with Fred’s radio ads the rocket fuel for that growth.

Fred’s agency — the first to focus solely on radio as a direct response medium — has also been instrumental in the success of Free Credit Report.com, Disneyonline, and others.

If you’re serious about reaching markets your competitors haven’t touched… And doing it with extreme profitability… You’ll want to be paying rapt attention…

My Huge Takeaway from Fred:
How “Radio Advertising” is NOT Radio Advertising…

This is really interesting. Fred has become known as the preeminent expert on radio advertising. And yet, as you watch his talk from Titans, you’ll discover that he’s NOT really a radio advertiser.

It’s a good first-touch lead generation tool. And yet the systems and procedures he builds into every radio campaign — from the ground up — are tremendous. Radio is just the first medium of interaction, for one.

The reason Fred is consistently so successful with radio advertising is — again — the specific systems he implements OFF the radio that support the 30- or 60-second spot he runs.

What number they call, what they request, how they’re handled, what follow-up looks like, what media is used to contact leads and new customers, WHO is the voice behind the follow-up… All of this must be scripted. Fred laid it out in his talk.

As you listen, you’ll also hear Fred reveal…

Amazing Feats of a Marketing Stuntman: How to get Dan Kennedy to say anything you want him to say while endorsing you (how can you use this?)…

Business records set by Fred Catona… Most revenue in shortest time, most leads in shortest time, built biggest list in shortest time, most online registrations in shortest time, greatest corporate valuation in 18 months, fastest e-commerce brand ever built… How he did it — specific system…

How to reach an audience of 242 million within the next 7 days (77% of adults within the next 24 hours, 19 hours of engagement per week)…

“Once you crack the code, you’re rich” — because you can get the message out to the entire population of the United States.

Strange-but-true story of how Fred got William Shatner to rep Priceline.com for $50,000… Maybe one of the best celebrity endorsement deals in history!

Total tech failure from massive marketing success… “Is anyone here aware of a phone center that can handle 2.2 million phone calls in 24 hours?” But what happened next is the real doozy!

What to do when you’ve “captured lightning in a bottle” — THIS is how you build a company to $20 billion valuation in 18 months.

Best way to get rich overnight, and best way to lose it all… (True story.)

FreeCreditReport.com… 4 failures, and the $1 billion lesson discovered on test #5. If you’re selling ANYTHING remotely “sensitive” this can be applied immediately.

“The Nuance of Empowerment” — Titan-level copywriting principle, necessary in nearly 100% of radio ads, works in all media…

How to become famous, rich, and successful by specializing in what nobody else is specializing in… Pole vaulting, mail order hoagies, direct response radio… Fred has shamelessly ridden this principle to success over and over and over again!

How to get celebrity endorsements, cheap… The President of the United States, mayors, governors, Johnny Carson, other celebrities, even astronauts!

When you do NOT want the Wall Street Journal interested in doing a story on you — and what happens if they do…

Are you thinking big enough for your mail order business? Weird story of how Fred expanded his mail order business “to the moon” — yes, that moon.

6-step system for making a ton of money with radio, fast… Hint: Radio is “tip of the iceberg,” magic is in what comes next. (Proven over and over again, with clients ranging from absolute nobodies to Kevin Harrington from Shark Tank.)

Where radio ranks in lead qualification, value… Compared to TV, internet, and direct mail— only ONE is more powerful (but also represents bigger risk)!

Who to email first to get a celebrity endorsement… (And where else to go if you want all the power of celebrity, without the cost of Hollywood.)

The best response mechanism for first response on radio ads… Live phone operator? Recorded message? Website URL? It’s not about what costs most, it’s about what’s most profitable — Fred’s first choice based on $100s of millions’ experience, and what else he always tests…

The best follow-up mechanism for unconverted radio leads… Is another radio spot the best way to reconnect?

“Who is your enemy?” Why Fred ALWAYS asks this question BEFORE doing a radio campaign, and how he uses it to shape messaging…

“Million-Dollar Formula” for generating response from a 60-second radio spot… Capture these 11 things in 170 to 175 words if you want to succeed in radio.

How to use fear in radio ads — and how not to, at least if you want to generate massive response…

Negotiation secrets for buying radio time — What your media sales rep doesn’t want you to know, works in many other media too!

I’ve had huge success with space advertising and direct mail. Online and via DRTV. But I’ve never cracked the radio nut… Yet!

If you’re serious about using ALL effective media to generate huge traffic and sales volume… You will NOT want to miss Fred’s presentation!

Then after Fred…

I’ll Let You Into MY Personal Mastermind…

I’ve mentioned before that I spend over $50,000 per year on my marketing education, including coaching and mastermind groups I’m a part of…

I’m also well-known as being a member of Joe Polish’s $25k group — a group distinguishing itself by each of its members (serious marketers and business builders) being able to readily afford the $25,000 cost of entry…

But I’m also a member of what I call my “$25 Group.” And no, that’s no typo. It literally cost $25 per person to be in the group. But there are only four spots, and none of them are open.

And I consider the three others in this group with me to be some of my most valued business connections.

And Finally — A Rapid-Fire Q&A
Where The Titans Revealed Final Insights
Into Direct Response and Business Success…

Frankly, the Titans we were fortunate enough to bring together for this event — for the first time ever! — were as excited about it as anyone else there…

Most of them — even with their incredibly busy schedules — stuck around for the full two days, to learn from the strategies, principles, and lessons the other Titans shared. (If even Dan Kennedy stuck around for both days, you’ve got to think there’s something YOU could learn here!)

And so we wanted to take the final opportunity — with so much knowledge and wisdom in one room — to go “off script” and get the Titans to answer attendees’ questions, and grill them on their biggest takeaways.

Here’s some of the questions they answered…

Hiring A-list copywriters? What research and other materials should you hand to them on a silver platter before they start your project? If you want the biggest chance at a winner, you need to know this… (11 item starter checklist!)

What research do top copywriters always do themselves?

What’s the single-most important marketing advice, skill, strategy, or process that a newer marketer should know if they want to set their career path straight toward becoming a Titan?

How do you offer sales and stimulate more responses without training your customers to ONLY respond when there are special offers available? Answer reveals best use of bonuses, alternate positioning, how to use JVs to get more revenue from house file…

For copywriters: when you’re digging into research and preparing to write, how do you identify that one compelling big idea to hang your promotion on? (Response included obvious answer, one that may surprise you, and a recommendation for a book you’ve never heard of.)

Jay Abraham: how would you recommend someone learn Socratic interviewing? (This is one of Jay’s biggest secrets.) What are the most important principles to focus on? How do you apply it to uncovering business breakthroughs?

How do you accelerate growth in a stuck or slow-growing direct response business?

What’s the best way to cash out and get a big payday by selling your information product business?

What’s the one question that nobody’s asked but should have? (The answers to this are the secret to connecting with the most successful, most powerful people in this or any industry — and getting on their good side instantly.)

What’s the single-best question to ask when recruiting talent to help you grow your business?

How do you inspire clients, coaching students, and employees to demonstrate the greatness inside of them — for the best results for them and you?

How do you translate face-to-face and in-person sales skills into winning copy, fast?

This one got a surprising answer: What’s the difference in head game between the world’s most successful companies, and those that never make it to the top?

This was an unprecedented opportunity to get the combined wisdom of all these Titans to open up and riff off each other. And it was a fitting end to two-days of incredibly transformative, profit-generating direct response marketing content…
